The fleet is split again in the lull zone North of New Zealand. The trio opting for the western detour lost only little speed building up an advantage on the other three boats. Looser of the day was 'Brunel' (Bouwe Bekking NED), trying an attack going East under stealth mode, but ended on rank 4 with a 70nm backlog. 'AkzoNobel' (Simeon Tienpont NED) stays on top only a few miles ahead of 'Scallywag' (David Witt AUS) in stealth mode this morning. Dee Caffari GBR with her 'Turn the Tide on Plastic' is on the 3rd place. The backmarker trio is now 60nm behind with 660nm to left to Auckland.
